Assured Dental Care is a dental clinic in Andheri West, Mumbai, where treatments that change how teeth and smiles look are offered as part of general dental care. Cosmetic dentist is an everyday term, not a registered specialty in many countries, so it does not tell you what training a dentist has. Cosmetic treatments include whitening, bonding, veneers, gum contouring and straightening with aligners or braces, and the results hold up when the teeth and gums are healthy first. This page explains what is offered, what to ask any clinic and how we plan.
Your care is led by Dr. Shreya Shah, Chief Dentist, who provides cosmetic treatment as part of general dental care and does not describe herself as holding a specialty in cosmetic dentistry. When a case needs skills beyond what is available, she says so and arranges coordinated care. If you are thinking about changing your smile, the first step is a consultation and an examination, and a plan that you decide on.

Cosmetic dentistry at Assured Dental Care in Andheri West, Mumbai covers whitening, bonding, veneers, gum contouring, aligners and smile planning, with health treated first. Dr. Shreya Shah, Chief Dentist, provides these as part of general dental care and refers when needed. Cosmetic dentist is not a registered specialty in many countries, so we explain who does what.
A consultation and an examination start at your first visit, subject to availability.
Decay, gum disease and bite problems are treated before any cosmetic work.
Photographs, drawings or a trial of new shapes show a possible look before treatment.
Cosmetic dentistry is dental care that aims to improve how the teeth and smile look, in colour, shape, size, position and the line of the gums. The term cosmetic dentist is used for dentists who provide these treatments, and it is not a registered specialty in many countries. Registered specialties, where they exist, depend on training and registration with the dental authority in each country.1
The main treatments are teeth whitening for colour, dental bonding for chips and small gaps, veneers for shape and colour of front teeth, gum contouring for the gum line, and Invisalign or braces for position. Planning them together is explained on the smile designing and smile makeover pages.2
Some cosmetic steps cannot be undone, such as shaping teeth for veneers, so they are chosen with care. Cosmetic work also needs upkeep and will need repair or replacement at some point. Our aim is a natural result that suits your face, on teeth and gums that are healthy.4
Cosmetic dentistry changes how teeth look, and it works well on healthy teeth with a plan you have seen.
Dr. Shreya Shah advises after a consultation and an examination. These are the general patterns.
If decay is present, a filling comes first, and gum disease needs treatment before cosmetic work. For other care, see the general dentist page.
Cosmetic treatment helps people with healthy teeth who want a change, and an examination shows whether it suits you.
The plan includes only what your smile needs. Dr. Shah explains each treatment, its limits and what to ask.
Whitening lightens natural teeth, and bonding repairs chips and small gaps with little or no shaping. These are the gentlest steps.
Days to weeksVeneers change the shape and colour of front teeth, and gum contouring evens the gum line. Both include steps that cannot be undone.
WeeksAligners or braces move crowded or spaced teeth. They are often done first, before other cosmetic work.

The gentlest steps come first, and the ones that cannot be undone are chosen with care.
A cosmetic plan starts with a consultation and ends with your decision. Your own plan may have more or fewer steps.2
A cosmetic plan is made with you, shows what is irreversible and leaves the decision to you.
You describe what you like and dislike about your smile. Dr. Shah asks about your health, past treatment and what you expect.
She examines your teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints, and takes X-rays if they are needed, to find out what is possible and what comes first.
Photographs, impressions or a scan, and your tooth shade, are recorded as a starting point for planning.
Decay, gum disease and infection are treated before cosmetic work.
A plan sets out which treatments, in what order, and which steps cannot be undone. You see a preview where it helps.
Each treatment's risks, how long it may stay in place and what upkeep it needs are explained before you agree.
Treatment is done in stages you agree. Shaping of teeth does not start until you are sure.
Review visits check the bite, the gums and the materials, and regular cleaning and check-ups keep the result healthy and in good order.
Cost depends on your evaluation. Cosmetic treatment is planned for each person, so no single figure applies to everyone.
Two people who want a nicer smile can need quite different plans. Once the consultation and examination are done, Dr. Shreya Shah lists the stages, and what each one costs is explained before you choose whether to proceed.
Call 08806796696 or message us on WhatsApp. Go to a hospital emergency department if you struggle to breathe or swallow, or if swelling spreads to your eye or neck. For a broken tooth or other urgent problem, see dental emergency treatment.
Daily cleaning, regular check-ups and early repair keep cosmetic work in good shape.
Cosmetic treatment is worth doing on healthy teeth with a realistic plan, and we say so when it is too soon.
The first visit is a consultation and an examination. Nothing is done to your teeth.
Bring photographs of smiles you like and any earlier dental records. Mention decay, gum problems, grinding, allergies and your medicines, and think about how much change you want and how long you can give it.
Call 08806796696 to book.
Health before looksA plan shown firstReferral when needed
Dr. Shah describes what she finds in plain words and what each choice involves, and the decision is yours. If dental treatment makes you anxious, tell us at the start so that we can go at a pace that suits you. We would rather you ask every question before treatment than leave with doubts, so please bring a list.
Decay and gum disease are dealt with first, so that cosmetic work sits on healthy ground.
You see the planned changes, and the steps that cannot be undone, before anything starts.
Whitening and bonding are considered before steps that need teeth shaped.
If a case needs skills beyond what the clinic has, Dr. Shah says so and passes it to a suitably trained clinician.

Cosmetic treatment is planned for each person, so the cost is given only after your evaluation. It depends on which treatments the plan includes, the number of teeth, the materials, the number of visits, any treatment needed first and any later upkeep. After the examination, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the plan and the cost of each stage before you decide.
Cosmetic dentist is an everyday term for a dentist who offers treatments that change how teeth and smiles look, such as whitening, bonding, veneers, gum contouring and straightening. In many countries, cosmetic dentistry is not a separate registered specialty, so the term does not tell you what training the dentist has. It is sensible to ask about training and experience.
Dr. Shreya Shah is the Chief Dentist at Assured Dental Care, and she provides cosmetic treatments at the clinic as part of general dental care. She does not describe herself as holding a specialty in cosmetic dentistry. When a case needs skills beyond what is available, she says so and arranges coordinated care.
At the clinic we provide whitening, bonding, veneers, gum contouring, aligners and braces, and smile planning, each described on its own page. Dr. Shah explains which suit your teeth, and which do not.
Not entirely. Straight, well-shaped teeth are easier to clean, and repairing chips and worn edges protects teeth. But health comes first, and decay and gum disease are treated before any cosmetic work.
Ask about their training and experience with your type of treatment, whether the plan is shown to you beforehand, which parts cannot be undone, what upkeep is needed and what the risks are. Be cautious of anyone who does not ask about your health, or who promises a specific result.
Often yes. We use photographs, drawings or digital images, and sometimes a trial of the new shapes on your teeth. A preview shows a possible look, not a promise of the exact result.
Yes. Bring the plan, any photographs and the quote you were given. Dr. Shah examines you, explains what she finds and compares the options, including doing less or nothing.
If you are thinking about changing the colour, shape or position of your teeth, a consultation is the first step and it commits you to nothing. If another clinic has already given you a cosmetic plan, we are glad to give a second opinion. Call or message us in clinic hours and we will confirm a time.
Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM.
